Can you believe that our WALK is this weekend?

Parking for the majority of Walk attendees and volunteers is recommended at any of the parking lots around Reid Park. There are three parking lots accessible on Country Club just south of Camino Campestre and lots along Camino Campestre and Lakeshore Drive. If those lots are full, parking near and around Hi Corbett Field is available. We will have a Brookdale Shuttle picking up in parking lots and dropping off at the main walk site. (Please refer to attached map)

Sponsor and Handicap Parking: Reserved parking for Sponsors and Handicap parking is located at the first parking lot on Country Club (just North of 22nd Street) closest to the main site. Sponsors have one available parking spot in the lot and will be checked in by a volunteer manning the entrance. Handicap parking is available for those with a valid handicap plate/permit. Parking is limited and will be first come, first serve. If you utilize this parking lot, you will not be able to leave the lot until after all of the walkers have returned from the Walk Route.
